Calluna vulgaris (Heather) 'Orange Queen'

That's got great colour :)))

Love the colour Shirley!

Shirley, I always meet with opposite opinion considering the most appropriate position for Calluna. Does it like dry (rocky) sunny places or does it need fertile land and regular watering?

Thanks Severnside and Sheilabub ... it really stood out on this grey and dismal morning! . . . . .

Katarina, this is planted in my South facing front garden ... my RHS book says:

Grow in an open site in well-drained, humus-rich, acid soil in full sun. Very attractive to Bees. ... :o)

Lovely colour - really bright

very nice!!!

Thank you, Shirley for information. There must be some catch, as I always plan in in acidic soil, always on a sunny place, but do not water it much. Erica always survive, but Calluna sp. usually do not.

Fantastic colour Shirley. :o)

Love this one Shirley....Hope you are doing well...:>)

Pretty picture lovely colour. Hope things are progressing well for you Shirley.

Beautiful winter foliage :o)

Thankyou for your comments, ladies ... no snow for us ... thank goodness! ... It's a calendar month today since I was taken ill and I'm recovering slowly ... just need an energy boost really! . . .

Lovely Heather...one of my favourites ours have been in flower for weeks, and all through the snow too, still looking great...and one of the latest Winter Chocolate, looked great in the Snow>>>

Thanks Sue ... the tiny white flowers are in bloom now ... I shall look out for 'Winter Chocolate' ... :o)

Likewise Shirley, always room for a Heather...:o))
